Australia face South Africa in their final league-stage clash of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, with both teams already through to the semi-finals. The match is a battle for the top spot in the points table, where one team will gain momentum heading into the knockout stages while the other may lose a bit of confidence.
Reigning champions Australia are unbeaten in this edition, chasing a record eighth World Cup title. Despite concerns over Alyssa Healy’s absence in their last game against England, the Aussies cruised to a six-wicket win.
Annabel Suther and Ashleigh Gardner’s 184-run partnership rescued the top order, ensuring Australia’s flawless streak continues, while Tahlia McGrath might captain against South Africa depending on team decisions.
South Africa, aiming for their first World Cup final appearance, will look to replicate their dominant batting display from the win over Pakistan. Captain Laura Wolvaardt, Sune Luus, Marizanne Kapp, Chloe Tryon, and Nadine de Klerk all delivered big innings to secure a 150-run victory.
The Proteas will hope to unsettle the seven-time champions and make a statement before the semi-finals.
